Hi, today Im having some problems scrapping films.
I use the last version of filmaffinity scrapper downloaded from here:
https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC/system/scrapers/video/

The problem is with the actors, now it doesnt work really fine, in some movies, the actor list is incomplete, for example:
The Doors
http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film245613.html
Scrapper doesnt show Meg Ryan.

A Perfect Murder
http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film871970.html
Scrapper doesnt show Michael Douglas

Death Race
http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film127500.html
Scrapper doesnt show various actors

etc etc

I know that before, the scraper worked perfectly with actors but now doesnt work fine.

This problem is only mine or its necessary a modification for the scrapper??
Someone could try to scrap those movies and write the result here?

Thanks a lot.

Bye byE

Problem seems to be the multiplies results from IMDB when filmaffinity scrapper search an actor in IMDB.
When name only have a result (there is only an actor with this name), filmaffinity scrapper works well but, when IMDB return 2 or more results searching the name, filmaffinity scrapper are not prepared to select one and miss this actor.
A temporaly solution could be desactivate the option to download actors thumbnails from IMDB.
A trully solution could be search the title of the film in IMDB and download all actors information from IMDB (more complete than filmaffinity info).

Hi,

I'm using XBMC Live with SVN 21913, the filmaffinity scrapper doesn't seems to be working fine. It downloads the movie info, and the fan art but not the thumbnails. It works fine with IMDB scrapper, so i think that filmaffinity scrapper needs to be modified in some way.

Also i've noticed (before this bug, because some SVNs ago it was working fine) that for the movie "The Matrix Reloaded" it doesn't download the right thumbnail...

regards,

scraper needs some love as the thumb stuff was updated lately


- fidoboy - 2009-07-31

Thanks for the info vdrfan, because i was going crazy trying to solve this issue. Can u give more info? May be i can try to repair the filmaffinity scrapper...

regards,

instead of wrapping the thumbs in a <thumbs> tag, return multiple <thumb> instead


- fidoboy - 2009-07-31

How? can you provide a simple example?


- spiff - 2009-07-31

sure - all the scrapers in svn that has been updated imdb tmdb tvdb, all the german ones.


- fidoboy - 2009-07-31

Well, i've partially solved the problem that way (removing the <thumbs> tag) but there is also other problems retrieving the info for other sites. I'm not sure about the use of buffers (clearbuffer and dest) and i can find any documentation about it...

How can i see the scrapper generated output? May be that if i see the output i can understand better the problem.

regards,


- spiff - 2009-07-31

debug log outputs all scraper results.

you do not need the clearbuffers trick any longer. just return <details><thumb>..</thumb>..</details> from the new functions. the clearbuffers thingy was needed when all thumbs needed to be wrapped in a <thumbs> tag, stuffing results in a buffer then finally adding them all at a final expression. you probably see one <RegExp> which has tons of input buffers at the end of the chain.


- fidoboy - 2009-07-31

This is a total nightmare xD. I'm about to surrender... I don't understand the filmaffinityscrapper at all... i'm comparing it against imdb.xml scrapper but dest buffers are different and i don't know how to change them to fit into the filmaffinity scrapper functions...


- fidoboy - 2009-07-31

What's the meaning of dest="4+"?? i don't understand what the + sign wants to mean...

regards...


- mkortstiege - 2009-07-31

this means: append to buffer 4

Updated scraper in SVN r21923. I think there's some room for improvements but for the moment this should (hopefully) work.
